The planet in charge of communication and day-to-day activities arrives in adventurous Sagittarius, putting you in touch with your inner explorer. If you’re suddenly interested in international studies, foreign languages or travel that requires a passport, then you’re receiving the ideas that Mercury in Sagittarius presents.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There will be a breakthrough on your special project. You’ll take a step forward and leave your old point of view behind. From this new place, there are many more lucrative options available to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your social life perks up. A certain sweet person you know sends you good vibes. This is a casual relationship, and it means a lot to you. By the evening, your mood can reach the stratosphere if you let it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s no need to rush. Everything happens in the perfect time for you. And you’re wise to let others go at their own pace, too. Patience is a form of respect. Tonight brings a source of great amusement.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What was once a baffling problem is soon to be an exciting new frontier for you to conquer. Stand back and take another look at the situation — things will click for the first time. New doors will open because you understand.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know who your allies are. You’re also clear about what you have to offer and what you want in return. It’s a fair deal. So present your agenda to as many people as possible. You’re in a solid position.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are a part of many groups, including your family, work and community. If most of the people in most of those groups enjoy being around you most of the time, you can be sure you’re doing your part and doing it well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The important tasks include handling paperwork, paying bills, reading newsletters and generally staying on top of things. With some modicum of prevention, you’ll save yourself from a future time-wasting hassle.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your unconscious mind will break through the surface and call a few of the shots. This may surprise you. You could act in a way that doesn’t seem in line with who you think you are. It’s an opportunity for exploration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Good things rarely happen to those who don’t believe that good things can happen. You have faith in the future, and that’s part of what creates a future worth having faith in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though you might feel like you’re barely making it, you’re actually cleaning up. So stop comparing yourself, and put all of your might into doing your best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Taking chances is scary — and also thrilling. On the car ride of life, you are rolling down the window and sticking your head out as far as you can to feel the relentless blast of wind in your hair.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). That thing you want is still just out of reach. It’s going to take a little longer, but you’ll have it eventually. What is attained with difficulty will be cherished for a long time.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). This year brings you a slew of new friends. Act on creative and romantic ideas in December. A professional journey begins in January. Your inner promptings are strong and correct; however, it is still beneficial for you to listen to others. Yours is a big mission, and it will take a team of people to get you there. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 2, 15, 40 and 18.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Mercury, the minister of communication and day-to-day events, takes the fast track into Sagittarius at the top of the week. This amplifies our need for change, adventure and thrills. Sagittarius rules travel, exploration and learning about new cultures. The action you take to broaden your view and attain a more global mindset will be laced with luck. Monday brings the transformative Scorpio new moon. This is a chance to go into ventures with a clean slate. When you start a relationship, make a move or enter into a fresh situation, you’ll be whoever you want to be, and everyone will believe you as long as you believe it yourself. You can completely reinvent yourself if that’s what you want, and the change is likely to take such a tenacious hold that in a few weeks you may not relate to the person you were before, or perhaps even fully remember what it was like to be that person. Thursday comes with an astral alert: Venus and Mars square off, and relations between men and women may feel strained. Avoid power struggles! The most powerful one is the one who refuses to struggle at all.
